On this day, Ling Xiao's ceremony was finally about to begin.
The morning bell within the Dragon Gate rang six times in total. This was an important event that would only be rung so many times.
If it was an ordinary inner court elder, then the bell would at most ring three times. Six rings were at least elders on the same level as the Senjin Of Goguryeo, and nine rings were only given to the Gate Master and Founding Elder.
Anyone with some power in the sect could come to watch the ceremony, but they didn't know who had become the Senjin Of Goguryeo and was about to be conferred.
"Could it be that our Dragon Gate now has an elder with the strength of the Senjin Of Goguryeo?"
"That should be the case. Why else would there be six rings? Only elders of their level have the qualifications to enjoy such treatment."
"It would be great if I could have such treatment one day. I could have my own mountain to cultivate on and my authority would be much greater."
"With your aptitude, you should be thanking the heavens if you can stabilize your position as an inner court deacon."
"By the way, two days ago, didn't I hear that Commander Fang bullied a true disciple?
No matter what, he's still the Senjin Of Goguryeo. How could he have the nerve to compete with a disciple and even let his disciple injure him? How disappointing! "
"Isn't that right?
Commander Fang is a tyrannical person with a fiery temper. If he becomes the Gate Master, I'm afraid that the sect will be in chaos. "
"Shh, lower your voice. If someone hears you, it'll be troublesome."
…
On the main peak's largest training field, a grand scene had already been arranged.
There were dozens of tables and chairs on the high platform, all for the Senjin Of Goguryeo. At the center of the high platform was the Gate Master's seat. On the left and right sides of the high platform were eight giant drums. Above the high platform were many red ribbons and lanterns, creating a festive and solemn atmosphere.
The ceremony hadn't started yet, but the training field was already packed with people.
Before the ceremony began, Sect Master Ling Chen and a group of Elders took their seats one after another.
An elder stepped forward and announced, "The auspicious hour has arrived!"
As the voice fell, the naked men around the high platform raised their horns and blew them.
Wu wu!
The sound of the bugle horn was followed by the beating of the drums.
There was a solemn atmosphere at the scene. Everyone looked towards the center of the high platform. They all wanted to see the elegance of this newly promoted elder.
A young man in a white robe leaped onto the platform from a corner.
His beautiful hair fluttered in the wind. Dignified, he strode toward the center of the high platform.
He bowed slightly and greeted the Sect Master and the many Elders who were sitting on the upper seats.
When Fang Bu 'er saw Ling Xiao on the stage, his expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
"That's impossible. How could he be a newly promoted Senior Elder? Could it be that he already possesses the strength of Senjin Of Goguryeo?
That's absolutely impossible! "Fang Bu 'er said to himself in disbelief.
Many of the Elders present who didn't know Ling Xiao also muttered to themselves, "He's just a low-level God King. How could he use six bells to hold the ceremony?"
However, when they clearly saw Ling Xiao's age, they were once again shocked.
The surrounding people were also astonished.
"Such a handsome young man is a newly promoted elder?
Isn't he the disciple who defeated Elder He Gong's disciple, Wen Tai Le, a year ago? "
"That's right. I didn't expect that in just a year, he'd directly become a God King from the peak of the Holy Emperor realm. This advancement is too fast!"
"Isn't that so?
Perhaps it's because of his lightning fast advancement that they're giving him such a grand reward. I'm really envious of him! "
"That's right. He … Isn't he the Ling Xiao who was taught a lesson by Commander Fang?
It seems like his divine weapon was forcefully taken away by Commander Fang. "
"That seems to be the case. If Ling Xiao was only a disciple, then maybe Commander Fang wouldn't care. However, now that he's promoted to an elder, would he still dare to not return his divine weapon?"
…
An elder held a piece of paper in his hand and loudly declared: "Ling Xiao, come forward and listen to the title. You're not even one hundred years old, yet you've established a God Base and achieved the title of Divine Alchemist. You're the first person in the sect's history. You'll be granted the title of High Elder in the inner court. You'll be rewarded with a peak, ten protectors, one hundred attendants, and five hundred million divine crystals …"
After this elder read out all of Ling Xiao's rewards, everyone thought that they had misheard.
Becoming a God King before one hundred years old — this could be considered a devilish existence. However, there were no lack of geniuses like this in history. At the same time, he was also a Divine Alchemist — this was the only case since the ancient times!
In fact, even the elder who was reading out the rewards thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
He anxiously thought in his mind: "Is this title wrong?!"
After the elder finished reading, Ling Xiao couldn't help but kneel down to express his gratitude.
At this time, Gate Master Ling Chen began to speak: "I'm sure everyone can see that Ling Xiao is not even one hundred years old, only around seventy years old. Not only did he break through to the God King realm, but he also became the fastest person to do so in the younger generation. He is also the first person in the last ten thousand years to reach this level, so he will be given the title of High Elder in the inner court. Moreover, he also has the identity of a Divine Alchemist. It could be said that he is the first person in history to reach this level before the age of one hundred. In the future, he will enjoy the highest treatment in the sect."
Everyone regained their wits after hearing the gate master's words, but their hearts were still violently shaken. The majority of them were still in disbelief.
If there was such a devilish genius, then what was the point of them living?
"That's impossible!" Right at this moment, a voice of objection resounded in the air.
Everyone looked towards the voice and saw that it was one of the Senjin Kingdom of Goguryeo, Elder He Gong.
Ling Chen looked at He Gong and asked: "Elder He Gong, do you have any questions?"
"Gate Master, if you say that he has become a God King, then I will believe it without a doubt. However, if you say that he is also a Divine Alchemist, then I definitely won't believe it. I hope that Gate Master won't be blinded by others," He Gong said in an imposing manner.
He Gong's words immediately resonated with many people, and many of them agreed with He Gong's words. They didn't believe that Ling Xiao was a Divine Alchemist.
He Gong sneered at the side: "What a joke. Even if he is the reincarnation of a Divine Alchemist, it's impossible for him to become a Divine Alchemist at such a young age. How ridiculous."
Ling Chen had already expected that there would be opposition, so his expression remained the same: "I know that everyone might not believe me. At first, when Elder Ling Xiao told me about it, I didn't believe it either. But now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I have no choice but to believe it." He paused for a moment, then shouted at the two elders below him: "Elder Lu, Elder Fu, are you present?"
Two elders wearing alchemist robes stood up with indifferent expressions. They bowed slightly to Ling Chen and simultaneously said: "Lucha is present (Fu Yan is present)!"
Lucha and Fu Yan were two of the five Divine Alchemists in the Dragon Gate, but they could only be considered the last two. The other three were not present.
As Divine Alchemists, they had arrogant temperaments and were sought after by everyone. Even the Gate Master had to be courteous to them.
"Take a look at this Recording Crystal Bead!" A Recording Crystal Bead appeared in Ling Chen's hand and he placed it on the table for them to take a look.
The two of them stepped forward at the same time to see what was recorded in the Recording Crystal Bead.
At first, their divine eyes were filled with bewilderment. Slowly, they became serious, and in the end, they became shocked. Their old eyes were wide open, and their mouths were wide open.
Ling Chen asked with a hint of pride: "Elders, are you sure?"
The two of them looked at each other and nodded to Ling Chen, revealing a look of admiration: "We are sure. Elder Ling Xiao is really talented, we are inferior to him!"
They were all old monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years. They were already extremely satisfied and proud to be able to become Divine Alchemists.
However, after seeing the scene of Ling Xiao's alchemy in the Recording Crystal Bead and the earth-shattering phenomenon, they knew that Ling Xiao was a true Divine Alchemist. Moreover, his alchemy skills were not inferior to those who had entered the Divine Alchemist Realm a long time ago. In fact, he was even better.
They had to admit that this was the truth.
Ling Chen was very satisfied as he announced to the crowd: "Elder Lu and Elder Fu have confirmed Elder Ling Xiao's identity as a Divine Alchemist. I believe that no one has any objections, right?"
Ling Chen's words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"It can't be, Ling Xiao …" Is Elder Ling Xiao really a Divine Alchemist?
How … how did he do it? "
"It shouldn't be wrong. That Recording Crystal Bead might be the record of Elder Ling Xiao refining the divine pill. Elder Lu and Elder Fu have already said so, can their words not be trusted?"
"This is great, our sect has another Divine Alchemist, and Elder Ling Xiao is still so young. I wonder if he will become the Supreme Alchemist in the future."
"The Supreme Alchemist is the top alchemist, and there are only a few of them in the Heavenly Realm, but there isn't a single one in our Heavenly Dragon Region. I also hope to see Elder Ling Xiao one day!"
…
"It seems that no one has any objections, then I will now award Elder Ling Xiao's token. I hope that Elder Ling Xiao can continue to work hard, and one day, he will step into the Supreme Alchemist Realm and raise the prestige of our Dragon Gate!" Ling Chen was very happy as he said loudly.
Ling Xiao was one of the Kim people. As long as Ling Xiao reached the Incipient God Realm one day, it was absolutely possible for him to step into the Supreme Alchemist Realm.
Ling Chen had already made up his mind that in the future, he would use all the resources in the sect to support his cultivation.
Just as Ling Xiao went up to receive the token, Fang Bu 'er stood up and shouted: "Wait!"
Ling Chen looked at Fang Bu 'er discontentedly: "Commander Fang, do you have any objections?"
"Although I believe in Elder Lu and Elder Fu's words, this is a big matter for our sect. We can't be careless. I think that Elder Ling Xiao should refine a divine pill in front of all of us. Of course, we won't have any objections!" Fang Bu 'er put forward his own request.
He thought to himself: "I don't believe that a little kid like you is really a Divine Alchemist. He must be a fake!"
